July Goals

I was reminded by Errign and her goal recap post yesterday that not only do I need to make some July goals, I didn’t make any June ones. I have been living a pointless (goal-less?) life since May, apparently.

Short-Term Goals (a.k.a. This Weekend)

Grocery shop. Four of us in one house, yet we currently have the worst case of bachelor fridge going on. I had hummus and dry cereal for breakfast. And now even those items are gone.

Clean ALL the things. And I mean all of them. Get the pile of shoes out of my car. Get the pile of shoes out of my room. Get the pile of shoes out of the front hall. Get rid of some shoes (perhaps). Wash my sheets (that never seems to happen as often as it should). Wash my laundry. Wash the kitchen floor. Organize my books. Organize my closet. Organize the open-this-door-and-the-tupperware-falls-out cabinet.

Spice up this blog. I didn’t know I was going to love my return to the blogging world as much as I have (this was only going to be somewhere for me to post book reviews for my own reference–I think the plan changed a bit), so the look of this blog hasn’t exactly been personalized.

Go shopping. Normally, this is a chore. This weekend? I get to spend someone else’s money. While folding a roommate’s laundry, I noticed that a good 100% of his shirts had holes, and a good 90% of them had giant armpit holes. These are his going-out-in-public shirts. I insisted we go shopping, he agreed it was probably time. This is why all single men need a female roommate. This, and because I’m going to make him get his back waxed.

Long-Term Goals (a.k.a. This Month)

Try one new food a week. Yep, already did this once. I enjoyed it (and it made me NOT eat the exact same thing every day–oatmeal breakfast, salad lunch, socca dinner/poptarts for every meal three days straight), so I’m going to be adventurous again.

Kick up the workouts. I had done a great job with this, but slipped a little. I want to go back to curling 20 pound weights, running 2.5 miles on a regular basis and adding a few BodyRock workouts to my weekly schedule.

What a great goal list! I’m still planning on making the zucchini gratin, so I’ll be excited to see your result as well. Oh, and I plan on cleaning this weekend, as I just purchased a Swiffer wet jet starter kit for $10 on sale!

I wannnnnt to go grocery shopping, but I SHOULD eat through all of the collected foodstuffs I have first. I have depleted the fresh AND frozen veg though, so that could be a problem. Brown rice pasta & sauce for dinner it is!

I too need to clean the piles of shoes that have invaded almost every room of the house. And seriously need to wash sheets. I used to be really good at that but after the 3rd kid it doesn’t happen near as often as it should. I love your list of goals!! It reminds me that I need to write my goals down!! Have a great weekend!!

I didn’t realize you were in Nashville:) Cool. I haven’t been up to the Nashville Farmer’s Market in a long time – not since M’boro started the one on the square on Saturdays. I used to love to Nashville on the days when they have a special event at the Farmer’s Market like the Tomato Festival.

I love your goals, Im sure you can achieve them all 🙂
And I especially like that you want to give sweet potatos a try for breakfast- U\I know you are going to love it! I even brought home (to my parents house for the weekend) a sweet potato, almond butter and maple sirup 🙂 I have a feeling what breakfast is tomoo\rroe 😉

Bodyrock has been bookmarked. I don’t know why I haven’t heard of this before. Genius.

You’re so ambitious with the goals. I bow down to your goal making skills.

I love that you’re getting your roommates back waxed! That’s a brave man. I go every six weeks, and don’t know how I managed before. Wax is such a beautiful thing. I really hope those roommates of yours know just how awesome you are. You’re doing them such a favor. Hahaha! 🙂

You are going to love bodyrock! Nothing like a 12 minute work out that still kicks ass 🙂

Haha, the roommate actually suggested it, but he didn’t want to go by himself/set up an appointment. Wax is indeed a beautiful thing, second only to permanent hair removal…I would love to have the extra cash hanging around for that.

What a wonderful goal list! I definitely need to get my butt cleaning the house this weekend! And my major goal is to keep at my half-marathon training – I’ve been good so far, but it’s still early yet =)

These are some great goals! My list has grown pretty long since I’ve been so busy working on my thesis lately, and everything else has fallen by the wayside. I’m glad you already got some off the list, keep up the good work! Also, the recipes on your to try list look great, I’m going to have to steal some of them:)
